Judas
kills himself
Matthew 27:3-5 (MSG)
Judas, the one who betrayed him,
realised that Jesus was doomed.
Overcome with remorse, he gave back
the thirty silver coins to the high priests,
saying, “I’ve sinned. I’ve betrayed an
innocent man.”
They said, “What do we care? That’s
your problem!”
Judas threw the silver coins into the
Temple and left. Then he went out and
hung himself.

5.
No one can serve two masters, for either
he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to the one and
despise the other.
You cannot serve God and money

Love the Lord your God with all your passion
and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most
important, the first on any list. But there is a
second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well
as you love yourself.’
These two commands are pegs; everything in
God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.
Jesus
Matthew 22:37-40 (MSG)
1. Love for God & 2. Love for yourself

For he chose us in him before the
creation of the world to be holy
and blameless in his sight. In love
Paul
Ephesians 1:4 (NIV)

10.
For God so loved the world that he gave his
one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus
John 3:16 (NIV)

11.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it
does not boast, it is not proud. It does not
dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not
easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
Paul
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)
3. Love for your family

Glen does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. He always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres. Glen never fails.
3. Love for your family

13.
Let me give you a new command: Love one
another. In the same way I loved you, you love
one another. This is how everyone will recognise
that you are my disciples—when they see the
love you have for each other.
Jesus
John 13:34-35 (MSG)
4. Love for the church

14.
You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your
friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’
I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your
enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the
worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond
with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out
of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what
God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the
rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and
bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable,
do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you
simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a
medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that
Jesus
Matthew 5:43-47 (MSG)
